US deploys aircraft carrier, submarine in West Asia amid rising Iran tensions
Business Standard|August 13, 2024
The US shored up naval and air forces in West Asia to help Israel fend off any major attack from Iran, ahead of a resumption of Gaza cease-fire talks planned for later this week.

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin ordered the urgent deployment of the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier group, equipped with F-35C fighters, and the USS Georgia guided-missile submarine to the region, according to a readout from a call with Israeli counterpart Yoav Gallant on Sunday.

Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant told Austin on Sunday that Iran was making preparations for a large-scale military attack on Israel, Axios reporter Barak Ravid said in a post on X, citing a source with knowledge of the call.

In a statement on Monday, Gallant's ministry confirmed the call took place overnight. It said Gallant and Austin discussed operational and strategic coordination and the Israeli military's readiness in the face of Iranian threats.
